Intra-EU chemicals trade balance by member state 2022

The Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands and Belgium are the European Union's largest exporters of chemicals and related products, with Germany also having previously being a substantial exporter. However, this has turned into a small trade deficit for the country in recent years. Ireland, one of the smallest member states in the union with around 5 million inhabitants, has become a leader in pharmaceuticals in recent years, with large U.S. multinational companies such as Pfizer having subsidiaries in the country.
